I've made a couple of wordles, but I can't find them again. I'd like
to use them in class or put them in a power point to show the students
but I don't know how to copy and past them. Please advise.

When I have a Worlde I take a screenshot, put the screenshot in my Paint shop pro, fancy up the picture, (border etc) and send it out into the world. There are many other ways of doing the same but this system works for me.
 
A screenshot is Ctrl+Print Screen
 
To paste into a program is CTRL-V or use their menu system to paste .
 
Hope it works out for you, it is a lot of fun.

There are 3 ways to save your wordle if you think you will want to use
it again. The first is to bookmark the URL so you can go back to it
and save via the next 2 methods later if you need/want to.
The screen shot method is easiest and most popular, but it limited due
to the low resolution. In general, this is fine for web use or
powerpoint presentations, but not for print work (including t-shirts,
etc.)
To save a high resolution copy of your wordle you will need to "print"
your wordle to PDF. Check the FAQs on how to do this or google "print
to PDF" for your operating system. This will give you a scalable
vector file that you can bring into Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator and
edit without loss of quality, printable at poster size and much more.

Thanks Kay, I love your replies, very educational and I just tried the PDF and with the right settings awesome quality. Much better than my previous print screen stuff.
 
Thanks for enlightening everyone about Wordle options. (Also love you blog where you have a lot of good info.)

Is there a way to retrieve a previous wordle? I clicked "advanced"
and my wordle disappeared before I could save it.

Retrieving from the "public domain" no,
unless you have the exact link it will be impossible.
Sorry to hear that you lost what you did but I think you lost it before you even saved to the Gallery. I assume it is gone forever.
